So an update....
Todays rain should clear out for most this afternoon, only to be replaced with the next weather system. I'm afraid the met office warnings for heavy rain are fully justified. Tomorrow is going to be dire for all of England and Wales and later Scotland. Once again very windy everywhere with gales through the south coast to about 60mph or so. Take care travelling, I'm hearing of trees coming down in quite low wind speeds due to being weakened already and saturated ground.
If you are in the SW, in an area prone to flooding and dont yet have sandbags then I would urge you to obtain them. Also its sensible to clear out the gutter in the road if you can - if your council are anything like ours they will have done sod all this last couple of weeks.
Unfortunately it doesnt end there. Thursday is ok, then late thursday night more rain moves in. Not too heavy in general on Friday but it wont help the situation.
Saturday more heavy rain at times and windy. Watch out for ice in the early hours of Sunday, especially in central areas and northern areas. Maybe some snow for parts of Scotland and northern England through Saturday night.
Sunday night into Monday/Tuesday - another storm. Not as bad as we've seen and the evolution still differs a little between models. But something to keep an eye on.
Some hints of a bit of a cool down second week of Jan bringing the risk of snow instead of rain further south. Still very unsettled though.
